Bilbao: Manchester United have been handed a major boost as Athletic Club will be without three major players for the second leg of the Europa League semi-final scheduled to be played at the Old Trafford Stadium on Friday (IST).
Head coach Ernesto Valverde named the 24-man matchday squad that will travel to Manchester on Wednesday, which confirmed both brothers Inaki Williams and Nico Williams, alongside the side’s top scorer, Oihan Sancet, will miss the game through injury.
Already trailing by three goals, Athletic need a miracle in the game against the Red Devils, and the absence of the trio creates huge problems for the side.
Athletic Club matchday squad: Unai Simón, Agirrezabala, Santos, Gorosabel, Paredes, Yeray, Vesga, Berenguer, A. Djaló, Guruzeta, Núñez, I. Lekue, Ruiz de Galarreta, Yuri, De Marcos, Unai G., Maroan, Jauregizar, Prados, Canales, Adama, Olabarrieta, Rego and Varela. (IANS)
